IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
Clifton Ventrous Stewart arrived on earth on February 3, 1934 in Muskogee, from the loving union of Sylvester Napoleon Steward and Viola Lee Stewart. He was the second of three son's born into this family.
Clifton attended Muskogee Public Schools at Langston Elementary and Manual Training High School. He was baptized at an early age at Macedonia Baptist Church under Reverend Davis.
After reaching adulthood, he moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he gained employment at Ford Motor Company as a fork lift operator. There, he met and later married his wife, Dorothy Louise Gatewood. From this union, three sons were born. Mr. Stewart also helped to raise two step-sons and a step-daughter. Later in life, he fathered two other children in Detroit.
After leaving Detroit and returning to Muskogee, Mr. Stewart became self-employed in his scrapping business. He wanted nothing more that to be able to continue his business, which he enjoyed. You could always find him working with his welding torch, regardless of the weather.
In his 78th year, Clifton Ventrous Stewart surrendered his soul to Jesus on Friday, April 20, 2012 from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, a brother, Sgt. Vernon Stewart and a step-daughter, Cheryl.
He leaves behind to reflect on his life; his children, Clifton [Terri] Stewart, Jr., Fabian Stewart and Adrian [Quencia] Stewart, all of Muskogee, Precious Stewart and Ventrous Stewart, both of Detroit, Michigan; two step-sons, William Trammell [Patricia], Detroit, Michigan and Felton Charles Trammel [ Teresa], Tulsa, Oklahoma, a step-daughter, Chyrle, who preceded him in death; a brother, Sylvester Stewart,Jr., of Muskogee; along with a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, other relatives and friends.
Service of Remembrance is scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 12 Noon in the Macedonia Baptist Church. Reverend Larry H. Smith, Sr., Pastor, will Preside. Burial will follow in the Booker T. Washington Cemetery.
You may visit Mr. Stewart, as he slumbers in peaceful repose at the funeral home on Friday from 10 AM until 6 PM.
